  1. Re:DRM for webpages on Google Not Reciprocating On IFrame Usage? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Any person who modded this up needs a refresher in basic application security. The ability to iframe in a page allows for attacks like clickjacking.

    You're wrong

  3. Re:Really new? on Fermilab Scientists Discover New Particle · · Score: 1

    I'd love to hear of a form of matter that holds no mass. Having mass is basically the definition of matter.

  4. Re:Really new? on Fermilab Scientists Discover New Particle · · Score: 1

    whomever is modding this down doesn't understand basic physics. This is correct. Matter can certainly become "not matter" E=MC^2

    If you play a slot machine and the machine has a software glitch that tells you that you won, you don't get the money.

  6. Makes sense on Green Card Lottery Judgment Favors Mathematical Randomness · · Score: 1

    As much as it must suck for those that wont he first time around, this is obviously the only fair choice. A random choice that is limited to a particular subset is NOT random for the entire set. Only those in the subset would have a non-zero chance.

  7. wrong on Is Science Just a Matter of Faith? · · Score: 1

    It has nothing to do with faith. Even the dullest of retards can grasp science concepts at a basic level. Any idiot can understand that Gravity is real; he doesn't need to know the formula to determine gravitational acceleration of a near-earth body or the cosmological equations regarding gravity wells to understand that if he falls off a roof, something will likely hurt. This same concept exists all the way up through any form of testable science. For an explanation as to why it is so hard to explain simple intuitive subjects, I will let a far greater man than I take over: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO0r930Sn_8

    Congratulations! You won a heaping cup chock full to the brim with failure and abject destitution!

    That's like saying a Huffy is better than a Ferrari, because it's not as complicated.

    tl:dr. I'm assuming you mean you used port forwarding through putty and then pointed your proxy settings at 127.0.0.1

  19. Re:No hurry on AIDS Vaccine Is Partially Successful · · Score: 1

    You know very little about gay men, obviously. The vast majority do NOT engage in anal sex.

  20. Re:No hurry on AIDS Vaccine Is Partially Successful · · Score: 1

    It is predominant among homosexuals but that is more likely cultural than biological. Many gay men participate in far more casual and unprotected anal sex or other high risk practices. It's not becase it's two men though, it's because those two men happen to be having high risk sex. If heteros were doing the exact same acts with the same frequency, you'd see a similar infection rate.

    Most gay males do not both give and receive

  22. Re:No hurry on AIDS Vaccine Is Partially Successful · · Score: 3, Informative

    Uh no, heterosexual anal sex carries the EXACT SAME RISK with a known infected partner. But hey, way to be a bigot. Anal sex in general is far more risky as the vagina is an acidic environment that is hostile to the virus, plus microtears can occur int he rectum walls during anal sex that creates a better blood pathway.

    As a middle class white male non IV-drug user, statistically speaking, you are far more likely to hit a hole in one in golf than to catch HIV in the United States. Its something like .04% per incident with a known carrier if you're male and having vaginal sex.

  25. CU's dont always have securityin mind on Hackers (Or Pen-Testers) Hit Credit Unions With Malware On CD · · Score: 1

    I've tried repeatedly to warn my own credit union of a security breach in their "self-help" terminal. It's running windows and a modified version of IE (no close out x). The problem is that the "View cookies" menu item open an explorer window in focus and the whole directory can then be traversed and written to. It's also internet friendly and not firewalled for third party sites. Sounds like a perfect recipe for a keylogger to me.
